Believe it or not, you’ve only got six months left in 2010. To be sure, BP will make the highlight reel — but this blog post is not about world events or stuff out there, it’s about you.
Now, when you read that you had six months left, did a little voice inside say, “I’ve got six months until my next New Year’s resolution”?
What happened to this year’s? Did you finish already? My guess is, probably not. If that’s the case, you just broke a promise to yourself. Do you find yourself breaking promises to yourself often? “I won’t eat that extra slice of chocolate cake.” “I’m going to lose 10 pounds.”
Do you find you keep making those statements to yourself over and over again? Here’s the deal: You need to stop making New Year’s resolutions. Stop it. Any promise worth keeping — to yourself, no less — is worth making and acting on NOW.
Notice I also wrote “acting on.” A promise is worthless unless you take drastic and immediate action. Maybe you throw out all your cake recipes or draw up a daily fitness schedule. The fact is, unless you’re willing to make a change, you will continue the cycle of broken promises.
You’ve got six months. Do it in three. Act now.
